State Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes recently announced that clubs across Northern Victoria will share in $200,000 through the Sporting Club Grants Program, with a new round also now open for applications.
“We’re backing more clubs, supporting their volunteers and getting behind local sports that are an integral part of local communities.,” she said.
The Program provides grants of up to $1000 for uniforms and equipment, up to $1500 for resources that improve governance and engagement, up to $5000 for projects to strengthen volunteering and officiating, up to $5000 to deliver a new sport or recreation program and up to $750 to support athlete travel.
Successful recipients in Benalla include:
- Northeast Bushrangers Basketball Incorporated.
- Benalla Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club Inc.
The Program is backed by the Regional Community Sport Development Fund that’s delivering infrastructure upgrades and other programs including the Regional Community Sport Infrastructure Fund to help more regional Victorians get active and be part of their local sporting club.
By providing more opportunities for clubs and organisations to build on their capabilities, this program goes a long way towards future proofing grassroots sport and recreation and ensuring clubs have the skills they need.
Applications for the new round of the Sporting Club Grants are now open and will close on April 7.
